A content provider, such as a document publisher or distributor, provides, for example, protected content to a user, for consumption within a trusted user environment. By providing integrity certification and verification services, the authenticity of the content consumption environments can be verified. The content provider forwards to the user a protected version of the digital content which includes, for example, a license agreement and an integrity profile identification. The profile includes, for example, the applications and system components that are allowed to be used in conjunction with the protected content. Additionally, the content provider initiates a request for an integrity profile. This request for the integrity profile is forwarded to an integrity certification and verification device. The integrity certification and verification device can, for example, if an integrity profile does not already exist for the requested applications and/or systems components, query a content consumption system/application provider, who, for example, has supplied the system components to the user. The content consumption system/application provider returns to the integrity certification and verification device authentication information about the particular applications or system components. The authentication information allows a comparison, or integrity verification, to be made between an application and/or system component on a user's system, and the original application or system component as distributed by the content consumption system/application provider.

A system and method for establishing temporary electronic mail (e-mail) accounts is configured to operate with classified newspaper advertising. One of the aspects of the present invention is a file handling method that automates the process of establishing the e-mail accounts through interaction with a publisher's system for taking orders for classified advertisements. Typical newspaper classified advertising comprises two or three lines of text which provide only basic information about an item for sale. With the present invention, advertisers would be offered the option of creating a special e-mail account with a duration tied to the run of the advertisement. The e-mail accounts would be used to receive inquiries about the item for sale. The e-mail account could be also be configured to auto-respond to each incoming message with additional descriptive information about the item being offered for sale. Responders could learn more about the item, and thereby avoid the necessity of calling the seller. Sellers, in turn, can avoid the problem of repeated phone calls to request additional information, and may also remain anonymous while responding to multiple inquiries.

A method and apparatus allows a session key for a encrypted message to be recovered even if the recipient loses or forgets his private key. A session key encrypted using the public key of a party other than the intended recipient of the message is transmitted to the third party such as a certificate authority, who uses an identifier to retrieve private information known to the intended recipient of the message. The third party can compare the private information with private information provided by the party claiming to be the intended recipient. If the private information retrieved matches or nearly matches the private information provided, the third party can decrypt the session key using the third party's private key and provide the session key to the intended recipient. The intended recipient can then use the session key to decrypt the message, without making available the intended recipient's private key to any party other than the intended recipient, or storing the intended recipient's public key on the third party's system. Law enforcement agencies can intercept the message and the session key encrypted with the third party's public key and can provide to the third party a court order to retrieve the session key to decrypt the message without notifying the intended recipient.

A reference token service is herein described. In one embodiment, the reference token service receives raw data strings from trusted source applications associated with merchants or other users. Upon receipt of a given raw data string, the reference token service then identifies one or more reference token pools corresponding to a merchant that sent the raw data string, wherein each reference token pool includes a plurality of reference tokens with comprising formats and data structures compatible with the merchant. The raw data string is then sent to a crypto system for tokenization. The crypto system returns a crypto token to the reference token service, wherein the crypto token may not satisfy the specific formatting or data requirements of the merchant. The crypto token is then associated with a reference token corresponding to the merchant, and the reference token is provided to the merchant. The merchant is then able to use the reference token amongst various applications within the merchant's system to enable easy sharing and retrieval of the raw data string.

Conventional nursing support robots, which are intended only for nursing, use complicated equipment. Therefore, they are expensive and it is difficult for them to be popularly used. According to the present invention, when a robot system decides at step S440 that it is time preset on a timer, it calculates a travel route from the standby position to a first cared person's location at step S446 and moves to that location at step S448 and asks the person a question and judges the answer (steps S450 to S458). If the answer is normal, it calculates the travel route from the first cared person's location to the second cared person's at step S446 and moves to the second cared person's location at step S448 and asks a question and judges the answer (steps S450 to S458). If the answer is not normal at a cared person's location, the system compiles nursing data on that person at steps S462 to S466 and transmits it through a wireless LAN at step S468. When the nursing patrol process for all persons to be checked for is finished, the system returns to its original standby position in a hall at step S462.
